It is a very low fibre diet, for the most prosaic of reasons. The radiotherapy is very targeted, with three radiation beams overlapping carefully aligned to focus in the prostate. Unfortunately the prostate moves within the body in response to the digestive system, especially any flatulence in the gut. Hence the diet to eradicate farting. My current diet is a constant audible source of amusement to my daughters.

I make my own beer and religiously imbibe one pint per night with my tea for entirely medicinal purposes....

A family friend's dad was a doctor. His practice organised the distribution of 1/3-pint bottles of Stout to all expectant women patients. Stout is piled-high with B-vits of which the famed Folic Acid (which women nowadays take as supplements) is one.

And crikey... Stumuz???

It's only recently they've stopped offering bottled Guinness alongside tea, coffee and Tatyos to blood donors (possibly to do with Ireland's already high alcohol consumption)._________________"Buddhists say we come back as animals and they refer to them as lesser beings.

My prostate test results were a little ambiguous, the MRI is not clear if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes, which would reduce the probability of the 'cured' status. Next MRI in a couple of months might clarify. This is my last week in current employment, so I am facing a (maybe) temporary change of lifestyle and income status. The Guinness for blood option stopped in England many years ago - a brilliant bit of marketing whilst it lasted, along side Lucozade which was the health drink of choice for sick kids in the 70s

My blood donor days will probably be over now, even with full recovery. Ditto organ donor, if any were still in reusable condition.

In this singular instance, they're serious. It's about time this limitation was re-investigated._________________"Buddhists say we come back as animals and they refer to them as lesser beings. Well, animals aren’t lesser beings, they’re just like us. So I say fụck the Buddhists" - Bjork

The big scare over vCJD in the UK was debunked years ago. There would be an epidemic of it now if there was any truth in the original thesis. Unless the press and NHS are covering something up? Is this a conspiracy theory that the Irish government believe in?_________________BLOG

The original scare was justified on the data available at the time. Millions were exposed to the rogue prions in their diet and significant numbers of people were infected. There were concerns that a large numbers of people had a DNA subtype which would leave the disease latent in them for decades, leading to a long term health crisis. It now seems that the dominant subtype was not significantly at risk at all, and most of the people who were are now dead.
